In Memoriam: Anne Petter
Anne Petter, a very beloved and enthusiastic Hunger Project
investor from Seattle,
passed away unexpectedly this month. She
died peacefully at home of natural causes.
Anne came to The Hunger Project in 2003. At the invitation of one of our activists, she attended a small
presentation in Seattle
and, from that point on, began to build a legacy as a powerful investor in the
end of hunger. Within six months of
attending her first presentation, Anne was on her way to India with
Hunger Project President, Joan Holmes, and a group of high level women
investors. In subsequent years she was
among the first to step up as an investor in the Girl Child Appeal, the
Millennium Leadership Campaign and then to provide the up-front matching money
for our two $1 Million+ Leadership
Challenge matches.
At a recent Hunger Project event, Anne shared that a
highlight of her life for each of the
last four years, has been attending The Hunger Project’s Fall Event in New York. What made it so special for her was the fact that, every year, she filled
her table with her children and grandchildren. Anne loved to travel with her family so that they could experience the
world first-hand. It was a gift to her
family that she could bring them to New York and introduce them to the leaders from South
Asia, Africa and Latin America who are on the
frontlines of ending hunger and poverty.
Anne will be greatly missed by all of us at The Hunger
Project. Millions of women, children and
men have been given the opportunity to build lives of self reliance and dignity
as a result of Anne’s partnership and great generosity.
We are all so thankful to have had Anne in our lives.
Here
is my special investment in memory of Anne Petter.
